あにめがすきです

カウボイビバップです. たくさんのひとはカウボイビバップをみました. It's one of my favorites not only because the story is well written, but the music is amazing. ビデオはタンクとリアルフォークブルーズです. The synopsis is as follows:

Spike Spiegel is a bounty hunter with a dark, violent past. Nowadays, he roams between the seedier colonies of space along with his partner Jet Black and their spaceship Bebop as they try to catch a bounty or two, barely making a living at it. Some of their bounties, like the mysterious Faye Valentine and the intelligent 'data dog', Ein, end up as fellow partners. Is Spike trying to justify prior misdeeds by working for the right side of the law? What will happen when his past catches up to him? And what of the pasts of his fellow shipmates? Will any of them survive long enough to find out?

Yoko Kanno is a great composer, and she does a great job with the music in the show. It is very diverse music, drawing influences from jazz, blues, country, classical music, and other styles. The show is 26 episodes of about 21 minutes each. Even without the anime, the music is worth listening to (not that the anime shouldn't be seen, it's much better with the anime). Whether you watch anime or not, Cowboy Bebop is worth giving a shot.

Why I Am Studying Japanese

"Why are you taking Japanese, there's no language requirement for SEAS and it takes up a lot of time?" Well, so far I have studied English and Spanish. I wanted to learn another language, but I wanted to learn one that was very different from the ones that I've done. Since Spanish is a Romance language (Latin derived), I decided to look at a language that was about as far away from that as possible. I noticed that after taking so much Spanish, I am able to watch shows without subtitles and actually understanding most of it. After watching so much anime growing up, I decided to go the trilingual route and study Japanese (despite all the warnings against it).

I'm excited to learn Japanese, to be able to watch shows in Japanese without needing subtitles. The hardest thing I foresee is balancing Japanese stuff with the other BME classes, but I'll have to wait and see.
